Against a tide of ignorance, isolation and cynicism, Big Noise Dispatches take you around the world to look war and crisis in the face, but also to witness a shared struggle for survival and dignity. Dispatches 01 collects 72 minutes of radical investigations, analysis and on the ground video from the Big Noise team working on four continents.
